Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add butter and using a pastry cutter or your hands, rub the butter into the flour mixture until a coarse mixture forms.
In a small bowl, toss together the raisins with the teaspoon of flour.
Add the raisins, caraway seeds, and buttermilk to the scone dough and mix just until combined.
Using 2 spoons or an ice-cream scoop, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. The mixture makes 8 scones.
Sprinkle on the raw sugar and transfer into the oven to bake until deeply golden-brown on top and bottom, approximately 18-20 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before serving with extra butter and jam of choice. Enjoy!
